I grew up in Boulder, which is about and hour from Rocky and many of my first summits were in this park. I have to say it's one of the best places I've ever been. April 89 sometime was the first time I visited the park I was 4 and all I remember was a giant elk in a meadow

Been coming up here for over 20 years. Have probably hiked at least 60% of the trails in the park (west & east), working on the ranked peaks in the park and currently volunteer for them now. RMNP is basically home for me.
